Narratives of Culture

ETS 1423 Credits

Introduction to Issues of Critical Reading - Students study texts of the culture around them. The course is presented from the perspective of the major ideas about meaning and interpretive practice that have emerged throughout the 20th, and now the 21st centuries. Students learn that ideas about language, subjectivity, representation and culture itself often intersect in lively debates that cross time and disciplinary boundaries. This course invites students to enter those debates and to discover for themselves a complicated but important ongoing dialogue about meaning how its made and whats at stake when its made.
